Which Should You Buy?
Divisive and complex, Timbuktu is a journey. Some find it a masterful, unique vetiver-incense blend, others get a generic or even 'old man' vibe. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
This is a seriously divisive fragrance, a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect beast-mode performance but be warned: some will find this chocolate-laden beast overpowering, bordering on obnoxious.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and sophisticated, dry woody character make it suitable for more formal or intimate settings like dates and elegant gatherings, though some find it casual enough for everyday. It's too complex and perhaps too quiet for sports, and can be a bit 'too much' or too unique for a typical office environment depending on how it performs on skin.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its nuclear projection and lasting power make it unsuitable for office environments, as it risks overwhelming others. This is a cold-weather scent for dates and nights out where its bold, sweet, and somewhat edgy character can shine without being cloying.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Warm Spicy, Aromatic accords and Incense, Vetiver notes
